Hey, indeedy

 Remember Jack Texeira, the Air National Guard member who was sharing top secret documents with his neo-Nazi friends on social media? His lawyers want him released pending trial, and they actually have a point, although it ' sprobably the opposite of the point they intended to make.In court papers, the defense attorneys argued that Teixeira has no
financial ability or incentive to flee, and claimed the government “greatly overexaggerates Mr. Teixeira’s risk to national security.”
Teixeira’s lawyers noted that prosecutors did not seek to detain Trump —
or his co-defendant, Walt Nauta — even though the former president and
his valet “possess extraordinary means to flee the United States.”   “Former President Trump and The Trump Organization own properties in
multiple foreign countries, and former President Trump has access to a
private plane. Yet, the risk of flight posed by their knowledge of
national security information, and their abnormal ability to flee,
didn’t even result in a request that either surrender their passport,”
Teixeira’s lawyers wrote.Teixeira ’s attorneys wrote that the “disparate approach” in these
cases — which are both charged under the Espionage Act — shows that the
government’s “argument for Mr. Teixeira’s detention on this basis is
illusory.” Hmm. What should we think about that?
